Cam seals are a pretty common leak source for the J-Series engines. The seals started leaking on both my J30 and J32 at around 150,000 miles and 14 years. I am now firmly in the camp of replacing those seals when the Timing Belt service is performed, even if they're not leaking.

In your case, since the leak is significant, it sounds like you need to do the Timing Belt service, along with a new water pump, have the oil pump resealed, and replace the front main crank seal and the cam seals.

Thank you for your input. I'm old school and haven't twisted wrenches in some time although I was thinking along those lines just not as complete as you.
